More Laughter
My poor mother is usually ready to go to bed right after dinner, but we know that if she were to actually go to bed then, she would get back up in the middle of the night some time. So, we look for things to do that are engaging. Tonight I remembered Mad Libs, the […]
Normal Day
The family has had a rough couple years since my dad’s illness and death and I feel that we are all in recovery mode. This is particularly true for my sister and her husband. My brother-in-law had 2 surgeries, one right after the other. Then they found a small cancer spot that was left, so […]
Laughter
My mom wanted to watch something funny on TV tonight, so we found the old Carol Burnett series. We watched the episode with Vincent Price and Joan Rivers. It was hysterical. Sometimes I forget just how important and uplifting it is to have a good belly laugh. I Found God today in laughter.
Spring Inside, Snow Outside
It was snowing outside today, so mom and I hunkered down in the house. The weather was warm the few days leading up to this storm and greenery was starting to make it’s appearance. A few trees had started to bud and if you looked hard enough, you could see some green grass among the […]
Power of Music
A friend reminded me today of the difference that music can make in our lives. The lyrics to a song, such as I wrote yesterday, can touch our hearts. Combine the words with the movements of the melody and we can be swept away with thoughts, memories, and emotions – both good and bad. I […]
Thank God I Do
Today I heard a song on the radio that tugged at my heart – Thank God I Do by Lauren Daigle. It described how I have felt over the past year – even though the song is about different circumstances. It has been a particularly meaningful Lent for me, of which I am grateful. I […]
Looking Good
My friend’s mom has been undergoing chemotherapy for a couple of months, but doing fairly well. She came out to dinner tonight with a group of friends. It was good to see her functioning and visiting. It was tiring for her, but she did great. I Found God today seeing my friend’s mom who is […]
The Man Under the Shroud
The famous Shroud of Turin has always amazed me. It has long been believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Tonight I saw a video that introduced a new “hyper realistic” model of the man who was wrapped in the Shroud. The figure was made in great detail and awesome to see. The […]
Grateful on Easter
As I celebrated Easter, I found myself very grateful. I was grateful to be able to go to Mass with my mom and sister. There were some people there I recognized, but many I did not. I had been waiting to sing, “Jesus Christ is Risen Today”, and it was the entrance hymn. The singing […]
Faith Through Violence
On this Good Friday, my mom was all tuckered out from attending Mass last night, so we didn’t make it to church. However, we read through the scriptures and prayers together. We also watched the Stations of the Cross on EWTN. It took place in the Colosseum in Rome. The scene was beautiful and somber […]
